### Impact `fast-uri`'s `serialize()`, `normalize()`, and `resolve()`, when called with the non-default option `reference: 'suffix'` on a reference that has no authority, emit a relative reference whose first path segment contains a bare colon without escaping it. RFC 3986 section 3.3 requires the first segment of a `path-noscheme` reference not to contain a colon, precisely because a bare colon makes the string reparse as an absolute URI with a scheme. `fast-uri`'s default serialization escapes that colon, but the suffix path does not. For example, `normalize('javascript:alert(1)', { reference: 'suffix' })` returns `javascript:alert(1)`, which reparses as a live `javascript:` scheme; `data:` and `vbscript:` behave the same. Applications that serialize or normalize a relative reference with `reference: 'suffix'` and then treat the result as a URI can turn inert input into a live `javascript:`, `data:`, or `vbscript:` URL (a cross-site scripting vector), and `equal()` can conflate a scheme-bearing reference with a relative one. Exposure is limited to applications that use the non-default `reference: 'suffix'` option. ### Patches Upgrade to `fast-uri` `2.4.8`, `3.1.9`, or `4.2.3
